I think that's about right. Maybe a couple days per quarter for a department, and then a few days a year with the whole company together. Enough to get a good rapport with your coworkers, but not so much you hate traveling for work.
If you give people good metrics to hit, they'll hit them. If you don't have good metrics then you rely on seeing asses in seats to know if people are working.
I mean, you get your opinion, but I just disagree.
Remote means Remote.
Being forced to stand in a field and eat hot dogs with my coworkers doesn't accomplish anything but subject me to learning things I shouldn't need to know about my coworkers and being forced to share things I don't want to share with my coworkers.
I have never once attended a "team building" event and liked my coworkers more after.
In fact, the opposite happens. I learn who is religious. I learn who is racist. I learn who denies climate change. I learn who is a horrible parent bit thinks they are the best parent.
I'm not friends with my coworkers. I cowork with them, and as a data analyst/process Automator, I can do that through zoom.
That sounds like a you problem. I've had a great time at all of them.
Why do you automatically assume it's a problem with them and not a shit-tier HR team whose idea of teambuilding is a fucking pizza party for 40 year old software engineers?
Do you like shit-tier pizza parties? Are you just a generally easy to please person? Do you expect no more than the bare fucking minimum from life?
Because the people responding, myself included, don't get sent to a pizza party for a team building. Probably way higher end, and they are reflecting on that
Or maybe a different industry? Or maybe... get this... HRs FUCKING SUCK.
I don't care who you are, free pizza is a gift I will accept any day. It will beat anything else I would be bringing in for lunch.
